311 Demon King (2/2)
This was a middle-aged man who had a big build.
Zhou Donghuang glanced at this middle-aged man and realized that he was indeed big, even bigger than Da Zhuang. With wide eyes, he glared at the old man who was leading Zhou Donghuang away and growled angrily. ”You old fox, you dare bring a human in to invade my territory!? Do you think that I'll leave you alone just because the Demon King favors you? In your dreams!”
Just as he had spoken, the tall middle-aged man unleashed his essential core and created a big and solid-looking great ape. It stood tall and proud like a mountain, looking glorious.
This was not a Dharma Power but rather a Primordial Soul Power.
This solid-looking great ape was erect like a mountain and looked like a veteran proudly fighting in battle.
Clearly, this Primordial Soul demon in the form of a middle-aged man was actually a great ape.
”Mid Primordial Soul stage.”
This Primordial Soul beast's powers were clearly stronger than the old man's. The old man was only at the early Primordial Soul stage, but this beast was actually at the mid Primordial Soul stage.
”What a fool.”
Faced with this threat, the old man merely looked the middle-aged man in the eye and said, ”How dare you! You had best apologize to this man over here. If you anger him, he could easily blow your head off!”
”What did you say!?”
Once the middle-aged man heard the old man's words, he froze before flying into a rage. His originally violent glare turned even more intense, and anger visibly radiated off him.
”He is merely a small human. I could kill him with one palm just like I do with mosquitoes! He is nothing compared to me!”
The old man's emotions seemed to have intensified with the old man's words. After shouting aloud, he quickly changed into his great ape form and upgraded his Great Ape Primordial Soul Power to become stronger.
”Roar!”
With a loud growl, the great ape raised its hands and, as promised, used a palm to strike Zhou Donghuang.
This slap was fierce and violent, aiming directly for Zhou Donghuang's head.
Seeing this, the old man felt uneasy in his heart.
Faced with this attack by the great ape, Zhou Donghuang did not flinch at all. Just as the great ape's palm was about to land on his head, the essential core within him was then unleashed in one go like a giant wave.
A huge and solid figure appeared and almost instantly took to the skies of the forest, enlarging itself in the process.
This was clearly a giant tiger.
The Great Ape Primordial Soul Power used its palm to slap Zhou Donghuang's White Tiger Primordial Soul Power. The area surrounding these two Primordial Soul Powers immediately trembled with their force. The white tiger growled ferociously and unleashed a terrifying amount of essential core. Instantly, it was able to easily defeat the great ape.
It did not take long at all.
The moment the great ape was defeated, the middle-aged man's figure once again appeared. However, this time, he collapsed to the ground with a thud. When he looked up at Zhou Donghuang, his eyes were filled with fear. ”A beast at the ultimate Primordial Soul stage!?”
Whoosh!
At the same time, the middle-aged man's figure began to fade out, and it was replaced by a giant black ape that was more than 10 meters tall. On the great ape's head, there was a tuft of silvery-white hair that was extremely eye-catching.
At this point, the look that the great ape gave Zhou Donghuang was one full of fright.
”He is not a beast; he is just a human.”
A voice that was full of vigor and strength rang out, and out of nowhere, another figure had silently appeared at the scene.
Of course, Zhou Donghuang was aware of the arrival of this figure for some time now, unlike the great ape and the old man.
”Your Excellency.”
Seeing the arrival of this figure, the sly and triumphant look in the old man's eyes disappeared and was replaced by a look of awe. He then kneeled to the ground entirely, and he even pressed his face to the ground as well.
”Your Excellency.”
”Your Excellency.”
…
Other human-based figures who had arrived at the scene also followed suit and knelt to the ground out of respect for the figure floating in the sky.
Out of these people, there was a teenage boy, a young girl, an old woman and a pretty woman.
”Your Excellency, didn't you say that he was a king? But... his Primordial Soul Power is a beast! How can that be?” the injured giant ape cried out with some level of disbelief.
”A human is also able to have a beast Primordial Soul Power. But the human must first be very talented.”
In the skies, a middle-aged man who was wearing long silver robes held a folding fan in his hand. He had on an elegant yet strict look on his face, and he looked at the giant ape with indifference before speaking unhurriedly.
”I've let you down, Your Excellency.”
The great ape struggled to kneel. His body was damaged from his fight with Zhou Donghuang; he was weak and trembling. Nevertheless, he forced himself to kneel and ignored the fresh blood dripping from his body.
At the same time, the gaze in the middle-aged man's eyes suddenly turned cold, and it landed on the old man, who had been leading the way for Zhou Donghuang. He casually said, ”Did you plan to use this man to kill Fang Yuan?
”Are you overlooking the rules that I've set? Or perhaps... You do not care much for the words that I've said?”
The tone that the silver-robed, middle-aged man used was enough to make anyone feel instant regret.
”Your Excellency, I've... I've made a huge mistake.”
The old man, who was kneeling on the ground, shook visibly from his fear, and even his voice trembled as he spoke.
